Now that school is back in citizens should note the changes to the speed zones, particularly around the elementary school. 7^th Street West from just north of 4^th Ave to just south of 6^th Ave. is a Playground Zone, 30 kilometres per hour from 8:30 to 1 hour after sunset. 4^th Avenue West remains a school zone. Always be alert and watch for children on the roadway. Also with the new soccer field going in on 5^th Ave. East that zone will be changed and extended to include the soccer fields.
